With forced time at home, my basement is my retreat.

A few weeks ago, I fashioned a workbench from our old waterbed Captain's Pedestal. The 3 pieces of the bee's platform make for a solid benchtop. And storage galore.

I've wrenched on my 86 KHS Fiero, and swapped pedals and seatpost collar on my 06 Cannondale CAAD8 R1000. Finished stripping my 02 Marin San Rafael hybrid, while I decide what to do with it (most likely 1x8 and rigid fork for now). I have some brake issues to resolve with my 91 Trek 7000 tomorrow. And just waiting for a new cartridge BB for my 97 Cannondale CAAD2 R300.

Meanwhile, the weather is not wholly conducive to me riding, wind adds to my allergies, especially affecting my eyes...

For good measure, the bench has been a good spot to mess with my old laptops. Experimenting with different flavors of Linux. And resurrected an older tablet (no ANT+, and old enough to run Zwift Companion but without maps displayed. While I got it working after 4 years, I bought a battery and charge port for it, so it will charge reliably. It will be great for the grandkids to use when they visit. Someday...

I also have to tear down the Rochshox Dart 3 fork off my 29er. Needs fluid changed and seals replaced...
